Pack Creek / Admiralty Island Bear Viewing Tour

Tour Overview

Bear viewing on Admiralty Island, part of Admiralty Island National Monument, a federally protected wilderness area administered by the Tongass National Forest, allows visitors to experience bears at home in the forests of the Kootznoowoo Wilderness. This wilderness encompasses vast stands of old growth temperate rainforest and is prime habitat for brown bears, bald eagles, and Sitka black-tailed deer.

This full-day bear viewing tour begins from the Juneau International Airport. Here you will receive an orientation and then board a classic Alaska floatplane for an approximately 25 minute flight to Admiralty Island. Along the way, your guide will point out the topography and natural features of Admiralty Island seen out the window. You may be lucky and see whales or bears on the beach as you approach the island! Your aircraft will land on the water and taxi to the beach where you will offload. Once on the beach, you will spend the next approximately 5 hours in Alaska bear country, walking about a mile within the viewing estuary where bears are likely to be seen foraging or fishing for salmon. Afterwards flight back to Juneau.
